Our Story

Heart of Hospitality was born from a simple need: to teach others how to extend hospitality in a culture where closed doors too often keep people apart. Founders DeAnna Kane and Leslie Callaway are hospitality and entertaining experts on a shared mission to bring connection back to the center of community life — because walls come down when we truly get to know one another. Every issue is filled with practical tips, creative inspiration, and the heart behind it all.
